i lived in santa cruz county CA for over forty years and now am here near omaha.

mom to six and grandma to thirteen.

what makes me laugh? the fact that i have cooked at least sixty or more turkeys in my lifetime and never gave food poisoning to any one but by today's cooking AND prep instructions i sure should have LOL ... other than that one i love learning new things and new recipes.

yes, i am "older" (LOLx2)
